En el Doble Grado en Ingeniería matemática + Ingeniería informática de UAX te prepararás para combinar el análisis cuantitativo de las matemáticas con la capacidad de plantear soluciones prácticas basadas en la informática. Y así convertirte en un perfil imprescindible en las empresas digitalizadas más punteras.
Te formarás a través de metodologías Agile, recibirás formación estratégica para la gestión de negocios digitales y trabajarás en proyectos interdisciplinares con estudiantes de otras titulaciones y empresas como Avanade, Ecoalf, Quirónsalud o Caixabank entre otras.
The opportunities are wide-ranging, technically advanced and highly remunerated. You can work as a software engineer in leading technology companies, a researcher in artificial intelligence or machine learning, a developer of algorithms for banking and finance (quant), a specialist in cybersecurity, a data scientist, a systems architect, or pursue an academic career through a PhD. The mathematician-computer scientist profile is especially in demand in companies such as Google, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, research centres and quantitative investment funds.
Mucha. Este doble grado tiene una base matemática muy sólida y exigente. Estudiarás Álgebra Lineal, Cálculo, Análisis Matemático, Probabilidad, Estadística, Geometría, Topología, Álgebra Abstracta y Métodos Numéricos, entre otras. La carga matemática es comparable a la de un Grado en Matemáticas puro, y se complementa con materias de programación, algoritmos, sistemas operativos, redes, bases de datos e inteligencia artificial. Es un programa para quienes disfrutan genuinamente de las matemáticas y quieren aplicarlas en contextos de alta tecnología.
It is not a question of being a "genius", but of having a solid mathematical foundation in Bachillerato (especially Mathematics II or Mathematics for Science) and, above all, a genuine disposition for abstract thinking and problem solving. The first year is usually the hardest in terms of adjusting to the level of demand. If you enjoyed mathematics and technology in high school, and if you did not just memorise but understood the concepts, you have the conditions to succeed in this double degree.
Estudiar solo Informática te da una formación más aplicada en desarrollo de software, sin la profundidad matemática que permite abordar problemas de alta complejidad como el diseño de algoritmos eficientes o los modelos de aprendizaje automático avanzado. Estudiar solo Matemáticas te da una formación teórica muy sólida, pero puede carecer de las herramientas computacionales para implementar y escalar soluciones. El doble grado une lo mejor de ambos mundos: puedes diseñar el modelo matemático y programarlo tú mismo, lo que es una ventaja competitiva enorme en sectores como la inteligencia artificial, la criptografía o las finanzas cuantitativas.
La duración habitual es de 5 a 6 años, dependiendo de la universidad. Es una formación larga e intensa, pero el retorno en términos de empleabilidad y salario está entre los más altos de todas las titulaciones universitarias en España. Al finalizar, obtienes dos títulos oficiales de grado reconocidos en el Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior. Muchos egresados continúan con un máster especializado en Inteligencia Artificial, Ciberseguridad o Computación Cuántica, aunque el doble grado por sí solo ya abre puertas a posiciones técnicas de primer nivel.
It is probably one of the best academic foundations for working in AI. The fundamentals of machine learning, deep learning and statistical modelling require precisely the combination of advanced mathematics (linear algebra, differential calculus, probability) with efficient programming. A graduate in Mathematics and Computer Science can understand AI algorithms from their mathematical foundations and at the same time implement, debug and optimise them in real code. This is the profile that companies such as DeepMind, OpenAI, Meta Research Labs or Google Brain are looking for.
It is one of the degrees with the highest salary potential in Spain and internationally. A junior profile can start between €30,000 and €45,000 gross per year in Spanish technology companies. In international companies, especially in the United States, United Kingdom or Germany, entry-level salaries for this profile can exceed €70,000-90,000 (or the equivalent in dollars). Profiles specialising in quant finance, cybersecurity or AI research have salary ceilings among the highest in the global technology market.
The cut-off mark for the Double Degree in Mathematics and Computer Science is usually high, given the prestige of the programme and the limited number of places available. Depending on the university, it can be between 10 and 13.5 points out of 14. It is advisable to have a high grade in the mathematics subjects of the Baccalaureate and in the EBAU, as the first year of the programme is mathematically demanding and requires a good previous foundation. Consult the updated cut-off mark of the university you are interested in directly, as it may vary from one centre to another.
Yes, and it is one of the strongest profiles for access to PhD programmes in mathematics as well as in computer science, artificial intelligence or computational science. Rigorous mathematical training and computational implementation skills are exactly what high-level PhD programmes are looking for. Many graduates of this double degree go on to PhDs at world-leading universities - MIT, Stanford, ETH Zurich, Oxford - with full scholarships. If you have a vocation for research, this double degree is an exceptional springboard.
